The sporting element figures quite ex-
tenslvely in this part of the moral yine-
yard and the daily newspapers devote a
large amount of space to accounts of
sparring matches, prize fights and local
scraps" There was time when prize
fighting was considered very disreput-
able business, but at present, the Pro-
fessors of the Manly (?) Art" are bigger
men than sole Grant" It may be a
good thing sometimes for fellow to
know how to handle his dukes in q
scientific manner, but there is such a
thing as CARRYING thing too far and
that's what the lspugs' are now doing.

The two Reverend Sans, Jones and
Small have been walloping saints and
sinners at terrible rate in Minneapolis
during the past week. How much good
they have done God only knows. IF,
however, through their influence, one
soul has been brought to the feet of
Jesus they have earned their weekly
stipend of $500. The Lord works in
mysterious ways his wonders to perform.
They have the reputation of being will
ing to help their colored brothers and
sisters into heaven by sort Of side en-
trance; but, as the Bible teaches us,
there is only one way, and who ever
strives to enter in any other way, is as a
thief and arobber, we have not, as a
rule, taken much stock in their chris
tianity.

/ The new mayor of Pittsburg has made
5twenty-one appointments Of colored
men on the police force Of that city.
The new mayor Of st. Paul made twenty
FIVE appointments on the police force of
this city recently, but not ono of the
number is a colorsd man. We had a
talk with two of the colored men who
have been on the force, recently, and
both say they resigned because they
were not properly treated by their
superior officers. Ofcourse, if captain
OF lieutenant wishes to make it uncom-
Portable for a patrolman he can easily
do 50, but there are few colorei men
in the city who are willing to take
chances in that direction if the oppor-
tunity is afforded. Ifthey cannot stay
they can do as the others did resign.
But justice demands that they be APP
pointed.

When My Dreams Come True;

When my dreams come true-when my dreams come
Shall lean from out my easement. in the starlight
and the dew,
To isen-smile and listen to the tinkc of the strings
OF the sweet guitar my lovers fingers fonde as he
sings
And the nude slowly slowly shoulders into
view,
Shall vanish from this vision-when my dreams
true2
When my dreams come true--shal the simple gown 1
Be changed to softest satin, and my maiden braided
hair
Be raveled into iossy mists of farest fairest gold
To be minted into kisses, moro than any heart can
hold,-
Or .the summer of my tresses shall my lover iken to
THE fervor of his pas sion"-when my dreams come
When my dreams come true--I shall bide among the
sheaves
OF happy harvest meadows and the grasses and the
leaves
Shall Eft and lean between and the spendor of the
sun,
Till the moon into twilight, and the cleaners
work is done
Save that yet shall bind as the reapers
do
The mesnsst sheaf of harvest--when my dreams come
When my dreams come true! when my dreams come
true,
True love in all simplicity is fresh and pure dew
The blossom in the BLACKLIST mold is ndler the eve
Than any lily born of pride that blooms against the
sky.
And so it is know my heart will gladly welcome you
My owlest OF lovers, when my dreams come true.

About Three Notable Women.

Townsend's most striking characteristic is indie
cision. She will make up her mind first one
side. then on the other. of even trivial matters,
and change from one to the other until circum-
stances carry her into some line of action. Her
friends laughingly declare that this is the reason
she has never married. because she could never
have kers her mind the same side of the fate

Live Life with Love.

There is soul of anguish repining
That doubts and trembles in the shades of gloom,
But love lead where softest shining
And fill his days with beauty and with bloom.
Live life with love.
There is no bosom dark with lonely caring.
That sadly sickens in the hours of woe.
But love can soothe his fortunes of despairing
And scatter gladness where his feet may go.
Live life with love.
There is no OF misery sorrow
That droops and withers in the dusk OF night.
But love can bring fond yearnings for the morrow
And heap the heart with hopes unfadirg light.
Live life with love.
There is in all the world no sinful creature
Tha. gropes and falters his troubled way.
But love can overcome his erring nature
And change his darkness to eternal day.
Live life with love.
Sweet Love. with bounties that her hands are giving
Can blossom roses on the desert heath,
Can brighten all the longings of the living
And with her kisses warm the lips of death.
Live life with love.
As love is thine. SO shall thy days be sweeter
With all the deeds that shall thy fellows bless.
Thy small achievements nobler and completer
With truth and hope and highest happiness.
Live life with love.

About it cling Thousand mysteries,
And seeing. wondrous sights to me unfold,

OF vengeance-stricken people to their fallen gods of

Perhaps this bit of metal formed part
Of some forgotten emperor's jeweled crown,
Or, wrapt in dust of some poor misers heart
It lay for years meath ruins of lava buried town.

And who into we'll filed purse has prest

, and for the readers of the Journal
A. STRATFoRD.
50 East South street, City.
Two armies covered hill and plain,
Where Rappahanock waters
Ran deeply Grim soned with the stain
Of battles recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun of the elements
Slept in its hid embrasure.
The breeze 50 softly blew it made.
No forest leaf to CULVER,
And the smoke of the random cannonaoe
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now. where circling hills looked down
With cannon grimly planted,
Ger hstless camp and silent town
The golden sunset slanted;
When on the fervid air there came
strain, now rich, now tender,
The music seemed itself ahame
With days departing splendor.
A federal band, which eve and mora
Played measures brave and nimble.
Had just struck up, with flute and horn,
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down focked the soldiers to the banks
Till margined by its pebbles.
One wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,"
And one was gray with rebels"
Then all was still; and then the band
With movement light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest, hill and strand,
Reverberate with Dixie
The conscious stream with FURNISHED glow,
Went proudly DER its pebbles,
But thrilled throughout it's deepest flow
With yelling of the rebels.
Again . pause and then again
The trumpet reaed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle" was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripples shoreward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles
Loud shrieked the swarming boys in blue
Defiance to the rebels.
And yet once more the bugles sang 4
Above the stormy riot;
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned a holy quiet.
The sad. slow stream it's noiseless foot
Poured o er the glistening pebbles
AL silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the rebels.
No unresponsive soul had heard
That plantive notes appealing
So deeply Home, Sweet Home" had stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.
Of blue and gray the soldier sees,
As by the wand of fairy,
The cottage meath the live oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
Or cold or warm, his native skies
Bend in their beauty per him;
Seen through the tear-mist in his eyes
His loved ones stand before him.
As fades the iris after ran
In April fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory. walked by musics art,
Expressed in simplest numbers.
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the rebels slumbers.
And fair the form of music shines,
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still mid wars embattled lines
Gave this one touch of nature
